Re: Hamradiodesigns.com looks hacked again!
Thanks, Jim. I just checked it last night around 1AM and it was fine. Not sure what the deal is, but our ISP is not helping us much. Jack, W8TEE

Comments on V0.96
Yes. The major difference is the Setup button. Previously, the code read byte address 0 in EEPROM. If that byte was not equal to EEPROMINITVALUE ("raw" EEPROM is set to 0xFF), then the setup routine for the display was called. That code is still in place, but once you've run the display setup, EEPROM address 0 is equal to EEPROMINITVALUE and the display calibration is bypassed. Now, you can press the Setup button on the main display and re-run the display calibration routine. In the DisplayCalibration.cpp file is a routine named InitDisplayCalibration() that starts the calibration process. You could insert a call to this function at the bottom of setup() to force a new pass through the display calibration process. Note at the bottom of InitDisplayCalibration() that the display values are written to EEPROM so they can be recalled the next time you run the program. I know I'm going to regret doing this, but I have attached a text file we used in the DisplayCalibration.cpp file early during testing. It has display offsets that we used to test various 5" and 7" displays. As you can see, each display has slightly different values. However, if you can't get your touch screen to work well enough to calibrate it, these values might give you an idea for hard-coding sample values until the display values get "close enough" for the calibration to work. Please note: This should only be necessary for displays that are really out of whack from the factory. As such, it should be viewed as a measure of last resort. Jack, W8TEE

Yes, it's the same one we're using on the latest V5 board. Jack, W8TEE

Re: Successful JackAl Builds
Hi Tim: Al and I really enjoy what we're doing and fixing the site is not a question of money...more like time. Al took it upon himself to fix it, when it should have been the ISP. Anyway, it is back up, although some of our database stuff seems hosed. After I get my taxes done and stomp out a few other fires, Al and I are going to re-visit the DOCS and try to improve them like we did for the wiring harness doc file. Again, I know we're too close to the project to write good documentation for it, but it will get better...stick with us! Jack, W8TEE

Al and I realize that we're "too close" to the build and
what seems obvious to us isn't to others. As a result, we will
be updating the documentation, much like we did for the
"wiring harness" documentation we recently posted. Right now,
our web site has been hacked and our ISP seems awfully slow in
fixing it. Stay away from the site until we tell you it's been
fixed. This weekend is finishing my taxes, but we have set
aside some time to improve the doc files.
We appreciate your patience and honestly feel you'll find
it was worth the wait.
